A Walk Down my Street : The importance of getting out of the nursery

Getting children out and about provides so many opportunities to support their development, but we know what a challenge it can be. Risk assessments, ratios, permission slips, transport costs… the list goes on.

It’s not surprising that we hear these practicalities are putting many settings off leaving their base. Becca Oberg reiterated the value of these trips, no matter how short, as well as provided some suggestions to address some of these hurdles.

Becca highlighted how such walks can support children's development, including speech and language, maths. She also touched on why this is so important for building cultural capital.
